PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - October 7, 2010) - Silver Tail Systems, the leading provider of website fraud prevention, today announced that ING Direct has deployed Silver Tail Systems' Forensics and Mitigation products to provide additional protections for its website from online fraud. ING Direct engaged Silver Tail Systems to provide rapid detection behavior analytics on all website traffic across its public facing website which receives an average of 250,000 visitors per day. Silver Tail Systems is the only company capable of analyzing online behavior across the entire website traffic for volumes reaching up to 350k clicks per second.

"Silver Tail Systems' Forensics product enables us to identify and shut down potentially fraudulent events in minutes versus hours," said Rudy Wolfs, Chief Customer Service Officer and Chief Information Officer for ING Direct. "During the 3 months since it was implemented the ROI has been impressive."

"Online fraud is organized, targeted, and devastating if steps aren't taken to shut down fraudulent behavior the moment it is detected," said Tim Eades, CEO, Silver Tail Systems. "ING Direct is clearly setting customer security as its highest priority by its deployment of authentication and behavior analytics to protect customer information."

The hackers of yesterday have evolved into organized criminals, strategically targeting websites, and attempting to steal billions of dollars from companies and their customers. These criminals now target the legitimate business logic of websites to perpetrate their fraud, including hijack threats, automated programs for password guessing, mass registration of accounts to game incentive programs, scraping customer data off of the website to perpetrate identity theft, and other fraudulent activities. Silver Tail Systems uses the deep domain expertise of its team to provide software that combats business logic abuse in real-time.

Silver Tail Systems fraud prevention provides:

Behavior analytics -- detects fraud that beats authentication (like Man in the Browser where the criminal uses the victims' own PC to access the victims' accounts) and organized crime
